It's 1900, and Belle Marion Greener is a fair-skinned twenty-eight-year-old woman who forgoes her African American identity to pass for a white American. She now goes by Belle da Costa Greene and works and socializes among the high society. Belle is the personal librarian for Mr. J.P. Morgan, acquiring artwork, manuscripts, and books for Morgan's Pierpont Morgan Library. She's adjusting fairly well to her new life. While dangerous, passing as white gives Belle and her family a new sense of living and a chance to experience what it's like to be among the elite in Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray's The Personal Librarian.
Belle's mother understood the struggle for African Americans in the 1900s, and she didn't want that for her children. So, because her children were fair-skinned, she decided that they would pass as white. Belle's father fought for Black's civil rights and didn't want Belle to forget who she was. He inspired Belle's love for art and books but disagreed with his wife on her decision regarding their kids, so he left. It would be years before Belle reconnected with her father.
In between that time, Belle would experience heartbreak, a miscarriage, disagreements with her mother, fear of her true identity getting revealed, death, and inner turmoil with herself for who she truly is and the person she is pretending to be. The only consistent part of her life was working for Mr. Morgan and her love for the library.
The Personal Librarian is a book with layers of historical fiction, compelling and significant discourse regarding racial discrimination against the have and have-nots, intricate scenes, and a dominant female lead. It's one woman's journey navigating a world that isn't kind nor fair to the less fortunate or of another race; however, they are accepting of white America during that time.
The Personal Librarian is a beautifully written novel with depth and captivating storytelling. It is available everywhere books are sold.
